Journal ArticleDOI
Costs of dispersal
Dries Bonte,Hans Van Dyck,James M. Bullock,Aurélie Coulon,María del Mar Delgado,Melanie Gibbs,Valérie Lehouck,Erik Matthysen,Karin Mustin,Marjo Saastamoinen,Nicolas Schtickzelle,Virginie M. Stevens,Sofie Vandewoestijne,Michael Baguette,Kamil A. Bartoń,Tim G. Benton,Andrey Chaput-Bardy,Jean Clobert,Calvin Dytham,Thomas Hovestadt,Christoph M. Meier,S. C. F. Palmer,Camille Turlure,Justin M. J. Travis +23 more
TL;DR: The consequences of the presence and magnitude of different costs during different phases of the dispersal process, and their internal organisation through covariation with other life‐history traits are synthesised with respect to potential consequences for species conservation and the need for development of a new generation of spatial simulation models.
Journal ArticleDOI
PIPITS: an automated pipeline for analyses of fungal internal transcribed spacer sequences from the Illumina sequencing platform
Hyun S. Gweon,Anna Oliver,Joanne E. Taylor,Timothy F. Booth,Melanie Gibbs,Daniel S. Read,Robert I. Griffiths,Karsten Schönrogge +7 more
TL;DR: PIPITS is the first automated bioinformatics pipeline dedicated for fungal ITS sequences which incorporates ITSx to extract subregions of ITS and exploits the latest RDP Classifier to classify sequences against the curated UNITE fungal data set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unscrambling butterfly oogenesis
Jean-Michel Carter,Simon Baker,Ryan C. Pink,David R. F. Carter,Aiden Collins,Jeremie Tomlin,Melanie Gibbs,Casper J. Breuker +7 more
TL;DR: A de novo ovarian transcriptome of the Speckled Wood butterfly Pararge aegeria was analysed and a number of significant differences were observed in; the genes involved in stem cell maintenance and differentiation in the germarium, establishment of oocyte polarity, and in several aspects of maternal regulation of zygotic development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Torymus sinensis: a viable management option for the biological control of Dryocosmus kuriphilus in Europe?
Melanie Gibbs,Karsten Schönrogge,Alberto Alma,George Melika,Ambra Quacchia,Graham N. Stone,Alexandre Aebi +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that more consideration should be given to determining, (i) the conditions under which T. sinensis may attack alternative native gall wasp hosts and (ii) the likelihood of hybridization of this species with native Torymus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Butterfly flight activity affects reproductive performance and longevity relative to landscape structure
Melanie Gibbs,Hans Van Dyck +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of increased flight on the reproductive output of female speckled wood butterflies from closed continuous woodland populations versus open highly fragmented agricultural landscapes in central France suggests that changes in landscape structure may impact on key life history traits such as reproductive success and longevity.
